Independent record stores are a rare find these days. But for those who want a little dose of classic counter culture, there's still Uncle Sam's Music. This Washington Ave outpost has been Miami Beach's flagship music shop since 1984. They've got all things vinyl - plus CDs, t-shirts, DVDs, candy, music gear, incense and all kinds of other odds and ends. More than a store, it's a musical epicenter. They host acoustic shows, sell rare releases and serve as the experts on all things instrumental. So stop wasting your money on iTunes and get a little culture with your coinage, instead.
